I called the Hamburg, PA store last Friday about any potential for an AR being in stock. The guy said they don't know when they are getting them, and when they do, they go out up on display and are gone in about 10 minutes. Seeing I live 2.5 hours away, I'm never going to snag one there. I only called because I figure the big boxes are the only place where price gouging may be at a minimum. As much as I'd rather support a local gun store, a store closer to me wouldn't even reveal a price to me on the phone for one he had in stock. I live an hour from that guy and I'm not driving down there just to see he wants $1600 for it. I can spend that on GunBroker and not leave the house until I need to pick it up.

"Turnbuckle latches seal the case from the elements. It has room for the carbine, four magazines, the survival kit and still has space left for some MREs or canned goods."

What about my 6,000 rounds of milsurplus ammo?

People that give RED to gun and ammo deals should be banned, no exceptions. They need to find a life and exercise their minds in ways that will help cure world hunger.

Really wish Dicks wouldn't have exited the semiauto space, don't have a lot of Cabelas around.

Dicks sells .22LR semi auto for regular prices. Savage 64 or Marlin are still in stock in most places. They abandoned larger calibers.

Do tell...what do you think an "assault rifle" actually is?

What does the "AR" in AR-15 stand for?

Can't wait!Hopefully they have already sent the merchandise before this started & it will be fully stocked when it opens. I'll be there when the doors open

"So at the risk of being scolded, what's a reason anyone needs a gun like this? I get hand gun, but an assault rifle?"

An AR-15 is actually much more useful than a handgun. Handguns are pretty much just for killing people.

An AR-15 is sufficient to bring down a small deer, coyotes/large dogs/wolves, wild pigs, etc. You could bag a turkey, duck or pheasant with it in a pinch. It's not perfect for bigger deer, but it's better than no rifle.
